The House of the Saint John is the building with the oldest history in the city. The first mention of it dates back to 1351. The current building is much younger. It was built at the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries on the foundations of an earlier half-timbered building. After the secularization of the Saint John order in 1810, the building passed into state hands. It served residential purposes, and after 1945 it housed municipal apartments. In 1978, the building was abandoned and fell into ruin. In 2008, the building underwent a major renovation, which significantly changed its appearance. Currently, it houses the Centre for Polish-German Cooperation.

A preserved fragment of the defensive walls of Sulęcin. The construction of the city's fortifications began in 1491. The 1,400-meter-long wall was made of field stones and bricks. There used to be two gates: from the south, you could enter through the Ostrowska Gate, while from the north through the Mill Gate. Only two fragments of the city walls with a total length of about 200 meters have survived to this day.
